    <h2>What is the Boston Azure User Group?</h2>
    <p>The Boston Azure User Group is a community-run user group with the goal of learning about the Windows Azure cloud computing platform. This will primarily happen through regular in-person meetings where we will discuss anything from business cases to gory technical details.</p>
    <h2>Where will meetings be held?</h2>
    <p>Currently, meetings are planned to be held at the <a target="_blank" href="http://microsoftcambridge.com/Default.aspx">Microsoft New England Research &amp; Development (NERD) Center at One Memorial Drive, Cambridge, MA 02142</a>.</p>
    <h2>What is the plan for future meetings and events?</h2>
    <p>While most meetings are held on the 4th Thursday of the month, it does not always work out. Occassionally we will hold meetings on other weeks or days of the month. For example, November and December in the United States are usually tough on the 4th Thursday due to national holidays. Please reference our web site for the most up-to-date information and consider subscribing to our (low volume) mailing list.</p>
    <p>The schedule for upcoming meetings is available on our <a href="/Events">Upcoming Events</a>.</p>
    <p>The speakers and topics future our meetings are actively being worked out, so stay tuned! If you have suggestion, please <a href="/Home/Contact">Contact</a></p>
